worth of stock in the Aurora Borealis without
paying for it, stick quill i'll it and initiate the
stock to twenty millions, then borrow thirty
five millions on the new stock by booming it,
make an assignment, bust and slide fifty
pound ledger up his sleeve, is most gratifying.
In the case of Mr.. Ives the gentle, polite
failure to remember, the earnest desire not
to tell a lie or anything else, the courteous
and unobtrusive effort to avoid being too
positive about anything that would assist
anybody in ascertaining anything-all, all is
interesting
The conversation during the investigation
for one day ran something like this:
"Mr Ives, did you in making your assign
ment turn over all the books connected with
your businessr
"Do you mean my library"
"No; the books of account, the day book,
cash book, ledger, ETC.. ETC."
"Oh!"
II ask if you turned over all such books on
the date of your assignment
81 could hardly tell that. At least, would
only swear on Information and belief"
"Well, to the best Of your knowledge and
belief, did you turn over those books at that
time?"
II think did. but am not positive as to
the date"
"What makes you think you did,"
because 1 did frequently turn the books
over, in order to see how they looked on the
other side"
"Mr. Ives, we find that several of the more
important books connected with your office
and the firm of Henry S. Ives & Co. are
missing. Do you know where they are9'
"No, do not"
"Were they in your office prior to your as
signmentT
"Oh, yes, they were there according to the
best of my knowledge and belief, up to the
time that they were not there"
"Have you any idea, Mr.. Ives, where those
books are now?'
mo, sir; only in general way"
GLOW do you mean in general ways"
"Well, mean that l know only in what
might be called a general way"
"Well, Mr.. Ives, will you state then, in

"What makes you say they are elsewhere,

"Well, now, will you tell us whether you

"Do you ask me to answer that question

"Do you wish verbal answer OF would

She is beautiful and fair,

She has eyes of brightest hue;
Her property is handsome, too.
She is pious and well bred,
She is wise and deeply read;
She knows science like book,
She can drive a nail and cook.

Never can be mine, fear.

I've beseeched her for her hand;
Whether she says YES" or NO"
